Whoosh!

Below, the muddy swamp suddenly exploded, murky muck shooting into the sky, churning violently. It split into two from the center, much like two mud dragons charging directly towards Guo Wen and his companion. In an instant, it engulfed them, effortlessly crushing the Yuan Gang True Essence and The Power of Heaven and Earth they had summoned, and snatched them back from afar.

Feeling that irresistible force, both Guo Wen and his companion wore expressions of horror. Although they hadn’t seen Chen Mu before, and he wasn’t wearing the attire of the Seven Profound Sect, with such level of power, and considering Meng Tianzhang’s referral to "Protector Chen," they couldn’t fail to guess Chen Mu’s identity.

Whoosh!!

The muck roiled and after sweeping the two men back, it surged again, forcibly casting them into the swamp, leaving only their heads exposed above the surface.

Chen Yue glanced at Guo Wen and his companion; she had heard of these figures, stewards of the Linjiang Pavilion. Yet in front of Chen Mu, they couldn’t escape even from a distance of twenty or thirty paces, as easily plucked back as little chicks.

"Bureau Head, sir."

Soon arriving near Meng Tianzhang, Chen Yue still politely greeted him.

No matter how high Chen Mu’s status now was, before Meng Tianzhang she was still a junior; moreover, since she’d joined the Demon-Slaying Office, he had taken good care of her, showing much kindness.

Meng Tianzhang waved his hand with a smile, signaling Chen Yue needed no formalities, and then he exchanged a few pleasantries with Chen Mu.

Afterwards.

Chen Mu turned his gaze to Guo Wen and his companion.

Both of them dared not even breathe heavily at this moment. When Chen Mu looked their way, Guo Wen tentatively said, "Protector Chen...we didn’t strike Meng with a deadly intent..."

Competing for treasures was nothing unusual in the Martial World, but encountering such a mighty figure from an opposing force meant they had no choice but to count themselves unlucky. Fortunately, they had harbored only the intent to seize the treasure. Otherwise, Chen Mu might not even be inclined to listen to them.

Chen Mu glanced at the two men and said indifferently, "Each of you, give up one treasured artifact."

"Yes, yes."

Guo Wen and his companion hurriedly complied, feeling the restraints on them loosen at last. They struggled out from the muck and, rummaging through their belongings, Guo Wen produced a Water Element Bead while the other man, with a pained expression, handed over his sword tinged with strands of Water Essence - the finest treasure he possessed, the ’Blue Water Sword’. Now, he dared not withhold it.

Seeing that both men were sensible enough, Chen Mu looked to Meng Tianzhang and asked, "What do you think, Bureau Head Meng?"

Meng Tianzhang shook his head slightly; he bore no grudge against Guo Wen and his companion.

Seeing this, the two men finally breathed a sigh of relief. Upon Chen Mu’s gesture, they each bowed cautiously, then quickly retreated into the distance until they were out of sight.

Chen Mu weighed the Blue Water Sword in his hand, flicking the blade with his finger. It bent lightly under the pressure and then sprang back straight, rippling with a thread of Water Essence.

"Not bad at all."

He nodded slightly and handed the sword to Chen Yue beside him.

The sword was indeed of great quality, nearly matching his own Flowing Fire Blade. Although not reaching the level of a Spiritual Artifact, it was among the finest Treasured Artifacts. It was a bit too much for the current Chen Yue, but once she stepped into the Bone Tempering Realm and began to grasp Artistic Conception, it would suit her well.

Chen Yue joyfully accepted the Blue Water Sword, and after trying it out a little, she quickly grew fond of it. Her previous sword, albeit of high quality and close to a Treasured Artifact, wasn’t a genuine one. This one, an exquisite piece among Treasured Artifacts, contained a hint of Kan Water nature, well-matching her Swordsmanship.

Having obtained the Ebony Wood, Meng Tianzhang no longer had plans to explore further. After a few more pleasantries, he headed towards the outskirts of the Huanglin Mountains, while Chen Mu led Chen Yue deeper inside.

Chen Yue followed Chen Mu obediently. This place was treacherous, normally beyond her qualification to enter. A single misstep could result in falling into a swamp, and even with Tendon Changing Perfection cultivation, one might drown, unable to escape the mire. After all, Tendon Changing Realm Martial Artists were still mere mortals. But now, with Chen Mu leading, it felt like walking on level ground.

Muddy swamp or wetland, their path was clear and unobstructed.

Soon.

They approached the very center of the wetland.

The terrain here was even more peculiar, with a cracked crevice spreading from the center of the swamp. Nearby, water continuously flowed into the crack, a spectacle seemingly caused by the rupture of Earth’s Veins due to seismic activity

"Scared?"

Chen Mu arrived at the edge of the crevice and smiled at Chen Yue.

Chen Yue blinked and said, "Of course not, with you here, brother."

Chen Mu chuckled and, taking Chen Yue’s hand, stepped into the crevice. They plummeted straight downward, dropping fifty or sixty feet before finally landing in a soft bog below.

There, they could faintly sense intense fluctuations of energy ahead, in the deeper parts of the swamp, with individuals clashing at least at the level of Meng Danyun.

Right away.

Chen Mu made no effort to conceal his aura, pulling Chen Yue forward. With each step, his Qiankun Artistic Conception unfolded, the nearby Power of Heaven and Earth churned, and a formidable presence spread in all directions.

Deep within the swamp, those engaged in battle felt Chen Mu’s approaching aura and came to an abrupt halt.
